The deposit indicates to us that you are as serious as we are about your search. All deposits are refundable if we are unable to secure you a placement. Read more about our placement proces here.

Experience

NZI has been placing candidates in New Zealand companies since 2007. Our relationships and good name are the reason that companies are coming back to us.

An internship is a learning experience of its own kind. Below 5 skills you get to learn during an internship.

  • When doing an internship, you learn to work within a team without focusing entirely on yourself;
  • An internship will introduce you to real-life work problems and consequently develops your problem-solving skills;
  • Communicating well on the work floor is a very important skill which you can learn during your internship;
  • An internship will make you more responsible and accountable for decisions you make and how you execute what’s been asked from you.
  • During your study you could just miss a class because you had some personal commitments. During an internship which will be the beginning of your real-work life, you can’t mark your absence that easily and often anymore. An internship will help you learn to manage your time better by maintaining a balance between your work and personal life.
